Budget reductions until this stuff stops happening.

Spending money on useless LE is a waste of money.

These police know that people have these new-fangled things called “smart phones” with really good cameras, right?

And if the designated punching bag is mentally ill or deaf, it’s fair game, I suppose, to beat and taser him. Every cop who is video-taped behaving in this unprofessional way should be fired immediately. Doing it in front of a crowd is unbelievably stupid.. What kind of police chief hires officers like that? He should be fired, too.

When I was in the JAG, I kept the record of the trainee abuse complaints against the drill sergeants. It was just a few, but they made everybody look bad.

Let's see...huge guy, white, didn't see what happened, wouldn't comply with what they were telling him to do. Two cops might not have been able to keep him down if he decided to keep going and try to get up or escape. I'll give him a pass.

Now IF it was a black guy the cops would be racist killers...

I think they can throw as many punches as they want, as long as they keep saying “stop resisting!”

Not overly rough. The guy was resisting and physically bigger than the cops.

Strangely the only thing I could think of was how weak the cops punches looked, I doubt that dough-nut munching blue boy could punch his way out of a paper bag. That said, he was way out of line hitting that guy like that.

The cop should have just shot him. That wouldn’t have upset the lookers on so much. Oh, and then he should have said to whoever, “I felt threatened.”

Did you see how the cop paused to cop a bit and then proceeded to continue beating the everliving crap out of this dude.

Once an officer has a man restrained and submissive there is no need for more force to meet out some sort of punishment. They need to throw the cop in the slammer and let him do some hard time for a whole and get his mind right. Glad they got it on video.

To be fair, the video wouldn't show if he sassed the cop.

I watched the News video. Is it me or did the one eye witness have the Worlds’ worst toupee?

If the command was to lie face down, he wasn’t complying. In fact he was resisting.

What would you have done if you were the cop?

I thought that he was trying to destroy evidence by eating some drugs, and they were trying to prevent it.

One cop seemed to be trying to pry something from his hand, while the other one was trying to subdue him (well, distract him at least) with lame punches. The suspect was kind of a giant - more than a head taller than any of the cops.

Police have not given his name or explained what the charges against him are.

Well I would say the charges are pretty obvious the way the guy was assaulting the cops fist with his head!
